The Doha Forum, which took place under the patron­age of the Qatari Emir, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani, describes itself as:

..a glob­al plat­form for dia­logue, bring­ing togeth­er lead­ers in pol­i­cy to dis­cuss crit­i­cal chal­lenges fac­ing our world, and to build inno­v­a­tive and action-dri­ven net­works. Under the ban­ner ‘Diplo­ma­cy, Dia­logue, Diver­si­ty’, Doha Forum pro­motes the inter­change of ideas and dis­course towards pol­i­cy mak­ing and action-ori­ent­ed rec­om­men­da­tions. In a world where bor­ders are porous, our chal­lenges and solu­tions are also interlinked.
